"Creative fidelity to tradition"? Assuming he is referring to the Apostolic Tradition, fidelity without adjectives should be sufficient. "Creative fidelity" sounds like walking the razor's edge again: bending the application of the Tradition so far as is needed to accommodate every sort of innovation. Why not just try teaching how to live the actual faith, not a political caricature of it, by teaching it the way our ancestors taught it? Why work so hard to try to accommodate it to the world?
